Paige Spiranac and her Instagram earnings in comparison to Tiger Woods

It has been some time since Spiranac quit her career as a professional golfer. Since then, the ex-pro has been working on growing her social media platforms and has more followers than numerous celebrities today. As a result of her consistent hard work on growing her social media, today Spiranac earns more than Woods, McIlroy, and many other golfers through Instagram.

According to sources, the golfer-turned-model earns £10,272.25 for posting a single picture on Instagram. If compared to Woods’ earnings from the platform, it’s nearly £2k more than how much he earns for a post.

And coming in behind both these personalities is Rory McIlroy. With over 2.3 million followers, McIlroy pockets £7.4k per sponsored picture. Other golf professionals who earn a great deal of money from Instagram include Rickie Fowler earning £6.4k, and Justin Thomas making £5.3k per post. This sums up the top five earners list from the golf community.

Spiranac supported Woods after his divorce from Elin Nordegren

While the whole world was against the golf legend, Spiranac was one of the few people who stood up in support of the legend. In one of the episodes of her podcast, Spiranac said that the world was being too harsh towards Woods. “No one lives a perfect life, we all make mistakes,” Spiranac said. “It’s not like he killed someone, he cheated. A lot of people cheat in their lifetime.”

She wasn’t trying to support the fact that Woods had done something wrong. Rather, she was trying to normalize the fact that the golfer had made mistakes like any other human being. And that is probably the only thing Woods needed at the time. The golf beauty insisted fans to stop with their judgments without actually knowing the truth.
